The chord shapes it generates start needing a hand you don't have. The scale patterns turn irregular enough to wreck any consistent picking. And the shape names stop telling you anything useful about what the chord is actually doing in the key.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo Book Two keeps the four hacked patterns from Book One and drops the rest of the method.
